Get a good one. I got a reasonably crap Draper one from Amazon, which was 25W. It's fine, but takes …

Read MoreI've been fiddling about with small electronics recently, specifically the Arduino, which is a microcontroller/prototyping board. The boards have gotten way cheap (standard ones are around 20-30 quid, less if you want fewer I/O ports or a specialised board layout you need to solder bits onto.
The hard …
